Thoughts of You

I gave so little,yet you gave so much
At times I was numb to your warmest touch
Your heart was so loving, your laughter contagious
Your eyes ever blue, your smile,outrageous
Sweet were your words, generous your heart
Yet I still found a way to break us apart
So thoughtless was I, so sorry I'll stay
for things that were said, that sent you away.
it seems for some things, they'll be no forgiving
which makes it so hard, this life that I'm living
Not able to see you, how long it does seem
Yet I see you each night when I lay down to dream
I wish you happiness, security and love
And may God's hand guide you from His home up above.

Finally, a poem good enough to comment on. (Most of them make me whince.) The only thing you need to change is the form from "I don't know" to "rhyme," as it certainly is rhymed quite well. And the content...moved me. Keep writing, keep trying to do the right thing...***Danielle***
